this really worries me…recently talked to my doctor said the research is very very mixed, and if it is transmitted it would be when it is active and easier to transmit from male to female. I’ve had many partners and hope I haven’t compromised them. I also just started dating a guy who had lyme a long time ago (got the rash and did 30 days antibiotics)..I’m worried I might give it to him…. jeez… not good…..

That is tough Kris. The research is still controversial but a lot of well versed LLMD’s will say that it can be transmitted this way but maybe not as easily as blood. There are also some Lyme patients in support groups that can attest to the fact that they believe they transmitted it to their partners or vice versa.

I know My LLMD said he thought if transmission did happen, it would be with someone who I had frequent sex with over a long period of time. My now ex and I had unprotected sex the entire two years we were together, and so far he doesn’t show any symptoms..but who ever knows with lyme!! 😦

A Healthier me

Bio

My name is Jennifer, I have spent the last decade or so battling various health issues from gastrointestinal... to fibromyalgia... to adrenal trouble... to chronic edema..and it has taken this long to find the culprit to be Lyme disease. I am at this time 8 months into treatment, and looking at approximately another year and a half. I continue to struggle, and for every answer I find I still have another question.
From around 1990-1995 my family lived in a very toxic house and property (we did not know this when we moved in). It took years to uncover the various problems, but in brief the house was laden with 13 different kinds of mold including black mold. We were also surrounded by swamp and stagnant water. Our water source was a well, and although we eventually got a good filtration system we found out that there had been heavy metals and chemicals buried in the ground. We were all very sick for many years dealing with everything from chronic sinus infections and lung issues, to chronic fatigue. My mother developed cancer, but thankfully survived.
Now all these years later we still feel the effects, we are being treated for mold biotoxic illness ( www.survivingmold.com ), and my sister and I are battling Lyme disease and heavy metal toxins, along with other subsidiary illnesses including candida, Leaky Gut, SIBO, adrenal/thyroid/pituitary and (fill in gland or hormone here). It is a long journey, but I am blogging to connect with others, share my story, raise Lyme awareness, and hopefully share my faith.
